Reports from 2011 show there are more than twice as many motor vehicle thefts and assaults on the SAC campus as there are at each of the other three Alamo College Campuses

"I'm proud to report that we have very minimal crime between the hours of 6 and 10 p.m. when we have our evening classes," said SAC Public Relations District Director, Mario Muniz.

They have twice as much crime as other area colleges but Mr Muniz says it's minimal?

They should have asked students if they would feel safer if they or their classmates could legally carry. The more lights is a good idea but I don't think more guards would be the answer. A few well trained and armed citizens shortening the career of some dirt bags criminals would go a long way to curbing the crime on campus IMO.

After attending a campus carry seminar last year at UT Arlington, and based on the comments from the President of that college himself, it is clear to me that the administration of the Texas colleges and universities is "infested" (and I'm using that term deliberately) with Progressives who follow the typical line of thinking.

1. Denial that a problem exists. Mr. Muniz doesn't acknowledge the existence of the statistics that show the inflated crime rate at SAC. The administration at UT Arlington won't discuss the crime rates on that campus either. Out of sight, out of mind.
2. Confirmation of the administration solution. There is no need for additional lighting that the students believe would help because Mr. Muniz says that the existing lighting is adequate. Obviously the students don't know what they are talking about.
3. The SAC administration is there to "protect" the students, not allow them to protect themselves. When I hear guys like this speak, I always substitute the word "control" every time I hear them say "protect". Their statements start to make a lot more sense after that.

I wonder if SAC is like UT Arlington. There are clearly a lot of students who are under 21 but both UT-Arlington and UNT have significant student populations of people older than 30. In the class I took, 18 out of the 90 students had gray hair. The administrations claim erratic behavior and drinking by the students as reasons to deny concealed carry on campus. That doesn't work very well with diverse student demographics.

How about that San Antonio College

San Antonio College:

VP says sex offenders on campus seek new beginning as students

There are 101 registered sex offenders in the area.

"there are 11 sex offenders on this campus and 30 sex offenders attending Alamo Colleges aside from Northeast Lakeview College, which is not listed in their records yet"

---
There were at least two extremely dark parking lots, including Lot 10, west of visual arts center, which had no lighting.

Ironically, last semester, the college suffered several daylight crimes, which included robberies, thefts and assaults, one with a gun in Loftin.
--------------

Search on for robbery suspects
Police continue to search for an aggravated robbery suspect in a Dec. 7 incident on the second floor of Loftin Student Center.

Two students reported being robbed by a man with a gun in a men's restroom. (second floor men's room)

Two days later on Oct. 15, a Gateway-to-College student witnessed the assault and cell phone robbery of another student by three men about 11:45 a.m.

On Oct. 21, a student was assaulted by a male suspect who attempted to steal the student's backpack at 2:42 p.m.

In an off-campus incident, a student reported a man stole his phone just before 11 a.m. Oct. 28 at the VIA bus stop west of Gonzales Hall.

The student said that about 15 minutes later, the robber and three companions assaulted him in Lot 20

After that occurred they installed automatic remote controlled locks to LOCK DOWN the buildings ... Cho had to bring his own locks and chains to lock the targets, I mean students and faculty in ... Taxpayer dollars weer used to alleviate the need for the next shooter to cary heavy locks and chains, so he could carry more ammo I'm guessing is their reasoning...
==================================

One night ... 80 light bulbs burned out in parking lots, and yet armed robbers on second floor mens rooms run freely around campus in broad daylight, and naturally cars on and near near campus are broken into.

Vehicle thefts there I think they meant vehicle burglaries...
An increasingly occurring crime of vehicular burglary ... criminals on campus, breaking into cars, because they think guns are stored there. (Of course in parking lots at church, Walmart, malls etc. they'd be a lower incidence of guns stored in cars, because Licensees carry them in with them)

===================

Cleary crime reports are here

but those are only the "on campus" ones, not the ones across the street.

=====================

SERIOUSLY

Next time Administration hears of an armed robber in a second floor men's room, they'll lock him in with the Students, the last one fled and got away without doing "serious" bodily injury to anyone, but ,, trap a dog, even a mouse, in a corner and they might bite.
Administration's "solution is ... create a hostage situation????????????????????
Instead of letting the guy escape.

Light bulbs are good, they had them on in the second floor men's room.

How glad am I my daughter has chosen an online college, rather than SAC?????
